Re: Error Message -54
Hi, Ronni, Did all this. There were a lot of permissions to be repaired, mainly in Safari and iTunes, and almost exclusively concerning foreign languages. I did have permission to read and write to iTunes files, and the Lock box was not selected. So I guess I will just carry on and see if the message appears again. Is there any harm in removing the foreign language files in Safari? I clicked on the icon and asked to see the contents. I remember some years ago there was an application called ‘Debablizer’ that ran through files and removed the ones in unused languages. A Google search reveals that there is a Debabelizer app but it is intended to help translate photos of signs in foreign languages. Thank you very much for your help. Wishing you a happy holiday season and all the best in the coming year.

Re: Error Message -54
Brilliant Ronni, I have Monolingual still running, watching the places where languages I would never use are located and removing them. I assume this action might be a positive contribution speed of operation. Its certainly freeing up space!

If you find that problems persist you might be best to boot into Recovery Mode and reinstall Mavericks. Or get a consultant (I recommend Daniel) to have a look at it for you. Apple ships each Mac with a lot of language files, which do take up space. Unless you are a polyglot, you'll never use these files. Or miss them when they're gone. You can Install monolingual a free utility that removes unneeded languages. Just click the languages you want to remove and click the Remove button. DON'T delete English! - I keep English (Australia) English United States) The scan takes longer than you would expect, there are a huge amount of languages installed by default. https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/7758/monolingual I will be extremely busy from tomorrow for the next four weeks, so will not be able to give as much assistance on WAMUG.

Re: Error message -54
Hi, Ronni, I followed your instructions, repaired permissions, checked the info on the iTunes folder. I have Read Write permission and the Locked box was not ticked. However, the little lock icon at the bottom of the Info panel was shown in a locked position, so I unlocked it. I finally got my hands on the iPhone again, plugged it into the computer and finished the job: no pesty error messages appeared. So, thank you very much. It would be great if the error messages were not quite so cryptic! Thanks again!

Re: Error message -54
Hi Pat, Good to hear your iPhone is back in your hot little hands and the problem is solved ;-) Re: your comment below: However, the little lock icon at the bottom of the Info panel was shown in a locked position, so I unlocked it. Don't unlock the little padlock at the bottom of the Info Panel. You would only unlock the padlock if you were not the owner of the Item (i.e.: you did not have Read Write Privilege on the iTunes folder) If you were not the owner (did not have Read Write privilege of the folder), you must click the small lock icon in the bottom-right corner of the 'Get Info' window and authenticate as an administrator user. Doing the Repair Disk Permissions in Disk Utility would have corrected your iPhone problem. It would be great if the error messages were not quite so cryptic! Ah come on Pat if they were not quite so cryptic... What would be the fun in it ;-) Cheers, Ronni Sent from Ronni's iPad4 On 15/09/2013, at 3:14 PM, Pat clamsh...@iinet.net.au wrote: Hi, Ronni, I followed your instructions, repaired permissions, checked the info on the iTunes folder.
